✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the legendary Wolfer Goldgrube vineyard in the Mosel, this Riesling Kabinett is a masterclass in tension and terroir. The 'Goldgrube' (or golden grave) is a historic, incredibly steep amphitheater of weathered grey and blue Devonian slate. Weingut Vollenweider rescued these ancient, ungrafted vines from obscurity, cultivating them with painstaking manual labor. The Kabinett style here is defined by its feather-light body, vibrant, electric acidity, and a delicate play between natural residual sweetness and a deep, salty minerality. Crafted with minimal intervention, wild yeast fermentations, and gentle handling, it captures the cool-climate essence of the Mosel with crystalline purity and remarkable energy.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1999 by Swiss native Daniel Vollenweider, Weingut Vollenweider is based in Traben-Trarbach in Germany's celebrated Mosel valley. Without family land or inherited infrastructure, Vollenweider dedicated himself to reviving neglected, century-old ungrafted vines clinging to the dramatic, slate-rich amphitheater of the Wolfer Goldgrube. Through meticulous, hands-on cultivation of these extreme steep slopes and traditional, low-intervention cellar work, the estate became a beacon of pure Mosel expression. Today, Weingut Vollenweider is internationally revered for its crystalline, mineral-laden Rieslings, particularly its legendary, highly collectible Auslese and Goldkapsel dessert wines.
